A Plugin for Obsidian
This plugin goes through your whole vault and searches for files, which are linked nowhere. In other words: Files with no backlinks.
In the end, it will create a file with a list of links to these orphaned files. Now you can either delete these unused files or link them somewhere in your vault.
Creates a file with a list of links, which linked file has not been created yet.
In addition, there is a command to create those linked files.
Creates a file with a list of empty files. Files with just frontmatter are considered empty as well.
Call the command Find orphaned files
and the file Find orphaned files plugin output.md
will be created in your vault root and opened in a new pane.
Goes through every link in the output file. If the extension of the link is in the list (can be set in settings), it moves the file to system trash. Is useful to delete many unused media files.
Please note that the setting "Disable working links" needs to be disabled.
Custom plugins are only available for Obsidian v0.9.7+.
